Get to the airport early and get it.
They said they give only on same day of flight.
And the do not issue fit to fly after 30 weeks. I flew 6 days ago, and i had to cry and beg (for over 4mins) and even write an undertaken of responsibility because i was flying at 33 weeks 5 days.

Do you mean if i go to Port Health like 2days before my trip, they will not give me? I am planning to go a few days before my trip in order to know if there will be any issues so I can re-strategize accordingly.

Thanks Moma





Nnystc:


Ticket prices on KLM and Airfrance website which were quoted at 6.7k dollars return trip in August to LA on Monday have now stabilised back to about 2.5k. Exchange rate is 283 as at yesterday. I was able to book a ticket on hold for 2.4k. Thats about 690k naira.
In the circumstances, thats better than the 2 million naira ticket I saw on Monday. I may have to manage it o...

Keep checking regularly BY YOURSELF. Dont use agents. It may come down.
Cheers.

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 4 by ijeomaobi1: 5:43am On Jun 27, 2016
Mumtwins08,

Why not check medview?? Learnt they are ok as per some mamas comment here. Dont know about Ethiopian airline. Experience mama will respond.

I flew royal air maroc to the UK yesterday..the flights ( Casablanca and then Gatwick) were not as bad as I envisaged. None of my bags went missing too.
They apparently don't accept fit to fly from hospitals cos they sent me to port health to get another..

Ethiopian I hear is like molue but I haven't flown with them before, Medview flies to Gatwick and then Saudi I think those are the international destinations they have for now, flights to the USA now are not even smiling at all at all at all

From my SIL's xperience, it's not too okay jare. Dey did not state all d stopovers on d ticket so we tot it wld be Lag- Adb - BWI but dey did Lag - Adb - dublin - BWI. She also said d food was crap and d staff were rude. Dey were not allowed to step out of d aircraft for all d time spent at Dublin b4 jetting off to d US.

It is well.

Good morning people! Why isn't anyone exploring the option of flying with Turkish airline? Is their service bad (especially for preggies) or they are also expensive like emirates et al?!

Air Maroc is not a bad option. It saves you time and money, more so they're highly professional. It's the best thing to happen after Arik.

Get another one for July 1st,emirate can be funny o. They don't accept from the port. It could be private or public hospital

Hello Temyb,how are you doing? Pls I want to know if you printed out the fit to fly form from emirates website for your doctor to fill or you got a letter straight from the hospital? Because I saw the form on their website. Thanx for your response.

Haba. It wasn't so bad. Flew them to the UK and it was okay. Like Arik. But the lost my luggage on the return for 1 day and it was torn when I finally got it. angry
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 4 by veleta: 8:28am On Jun 27, 2016
Good morning everyone, pls I need your inputs between flying Arik and Emirates,my destination is LA which is very far and am considering leaving at 35weeks.
The stress of connecting flight from Newyork to LA won't be funny considering I would coming back alone with baby.
I have been calling Delta airline here for some days but they ain't picking,it seems they want to stop plying Nigeria too.
This is a very difficult time to travel.
Thanks,pls don't jump and pass

Sweetie, our experience with them mustn't be same. I flew them to Madrid and it's one of my worst mistake in terms of travel till date. Infact hubby still make fun of me about it till 2moro. Initially when the flight took off, the lady beside brought out her Agege bread, I laughed seriously within me, but soonest I realized she is a regular with them. We were served apple pie as food from Lagos to Casablanca, yes APPLE PIE! For those that are used to comfort flying, Pls stay off. My 2 cent though.

flew Ethiopian Airline to Cairo in Feb, surprisingly the flight and the plane was fantastic, spacious seat, luckily the plane was not full, so i had spare seats to sleep. Also, modern in-flight system, Good food. will fly them over and over again. I give them 8/10

fly emirates it will be a long flight but i'm sure you will prefer it arik, arik is shorter but the connection and gbogbo gbo to your final destination is the stressful part, if you are trying to cut costs then use arik if not use emirates

Hello everyone. Thanks so much for all the useful info that has been put up here, I have really learnt a lot. I am a FTM and I would like to find out some information. I will be travelling with an F2 visa at about 33 weeks and was wondering if it's going to be the same procedure at the POE with those travelling with a b1/b2 visa. I am a frequent traveller to the US and I'm already registered with a hospital there. Any useful info will be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
